GROFF VERSION: groff-current from 3 Dec 2012 (based on version 1.21)

MACHINE: SunFire T5220

OS: SunOS 5.10

COMPILER: None

INPUT FILES: man/groff_diff.man

COMMAND LINE: None

DESCRIPTION OF INCORRECT BEHAVIOUR:

inludes -> includes

color -> font family


Some typographical changes:

Remove excessive \f[R]

Add \& after a dot in abbreviations

1-9 -> 1\-9 as a substitute for the word "to"

a-x -> a\(enx looks better than a\-x as the minus lies to high (in troff)

Excessive space between words reduced to one


SUGGESTED FIX:
